Now this will be a fun race - F-35

I would love to be a fly on the wall at these planning sessions
From the London Daily Mail

Race to beat China to recover $100m US F-35 stealth fighter from bottom of South China Sea after it crash landed on aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson: Fears secret technology from America's most advanced jet could fall into enemy hands

• • The USS Carl Vinson on Monday suffered a 'landing mishap' with F-35C warplane
  • The Navy said the stealth fighter 'subsequently fell to the water'
  • It is packed with the latest technology and advances in radar-deflecting design
  • The ship is currently in the South China Sea, taking part in exercises
  • The pilot of the F-35 ejected safely and was rescued by helicopter
  • Seven were injured: three required evacuation to a medical facility in Manila

It's easy to joke about the F-35's performance issues but China would love to get its mitts on the technology.
We must not let them.
